Okay, what you've written seems to vary from system to system it seems. What Roger posted in reply to my original message is indeed correct, that is to say if I use one of my other Windows 7 machines - either my Netbook or my HP Notebook following Roger's suggestions - I get both hardware and adapter settings for the adapter, in the case of the HP there are 15 different tabs running from left to right across the top of the screen for different category's.
Lynne's suggestion is correct as well, works on both my EEEPC and my HP Notebook but not on the new Windows 7-64 Desktop, adapter settings are not present in "Windows And Sharing" at all! I went into properties of the Network adapter as instructed by Roger and there - as with the HP - are a whole series of tabs from left to right across the top of the screen, 12 in all but none talk about setting up IP Addresses, now I'm awake I'll have another look to see if I can find out what's going on. I wonder whether the manufacturer of Network adapter has a lot to do with this, for example I'm using the built-in Intel network adapter as came with my Mother Board, its got a whole heap of stuff listed in its properties I've never seen before such as "Master/slave" setup etc. On 23/04/2012, at 12:22 AM, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith wrote: > Hello everybody > > OK, I tried the suggestion which Roger pasted into his message following > Dane's question.
